Have to feed up the starving a bit before putting them in the game, 
though; otherwise they'd be soaking the footballs (pigskin, you know) 
tender enough to chew, and eating them. Baseballs, too. And need to 
clothe and house them, particularly in colder months, or they'd have 
bat and base bonfires.

Televised? Televised! You know, I believe you're a genius! I shall 
fire off letters to both Simons (Cowell/Survivor) and 
(Fuller/American Idol) right now! Talk about a REALITY show! Oh, and 
we'll ask Rush to commentate. That should cover ALL the bases.

I think it needs to be mixed teams, though; can't have cities 
competing for the biggest and best indigent populations. And of 
course there is no penalty for wearing your cap backwards--if you've 
quite naturally turned your head 'round under it first.

Sandy, who is quite flattered that you think hers "a modest proposal"
